I don't like to cook every day so I have a few favorite things I like to keep in the freezer. I am also cooking for "One" .Today I was in the mood to cook and freeze I use the FoodSaver system to keep my items in good shape in the freezer. I have an instant Pot which is a lifesaver for me. Yesterday I cooked a big Pot of rice and a Pot of garbanzo beans. I also cooked Pot of sweet potatoes.
1. Rice bowl: Mix Rice, Garbanzo beans and, Kale together freeze. After I thaw it out I add Jalapeno Ranch from the
http://forealslife.com web site. I change the recipe a little bit and I put a cup of white beans to substitute for one cup of tofu to decrease the fat in the recipe. I still add a cup of tofu or a 1/2 cup.
2. I made hummus and put 1/2 it in the freezer.(the Prevent an Reverse heart Disease cookbook) I love this cookbook.
3. I made barbecue black-eyed peas burgers. I double the batch and some will go in the freezer. ( from Fat Free vegan.com) this is my favorite burger recipe because it is so easy.
4. Tomorrow I will make some burritos. Using Spanish rice recipe with black beans. They freeze really well.
5. I wash the yams really well and cook them whole in the instant pot with skins on. This leaves skins really soft so I process then with the skins on. I put them in my Cuisinart with about with about heaping teaspoon of Wonderslim fatfree cocoa.( Maybe more if needed.) if it is needed a splash of soy milk. it has an appearance of chocolate pudding. I sprinkle a little raw sugar on the surface. The yams will freeze well.
6. Potatoes are always a easy go to dinner. Add topping and vegetable. I like Jalapeno ranch dressing and broccoli on the side.
7. One my favorite meal is a layer of rice, salsa, the second layer black bean and then a salad on top of that with the ranch dressing with baked corn chips I make in my oven.
8. Provencal-red-lentil-soup
http://fatfreevegan.com. 7 minutes in the instant Pot. I love it and it freeze well too.
9. When all else fails as I have a bowl of oatmeal and blueberries for dinner.
